He added, “I am concerned about making sure we don’t give away so much that isn’t economically necessary and then at the same time tell certain people that they have to pay tax increases.”
Cong. Issa is concerned about eliminating SALT deductions
Cong. Issa pointed out that eliminating the state and local tax (SALT) deductions is an overriding concern for him. The congressman sees it as a double taxation. He said, people should not be taxed twice on the same money.
In a separate statement, the congressman said the United States “needs tax reform now more than ever.” However, he cannot support the current House reform proposal because many Californians will not benefit from it.
He said, “At worse” Californians “may see their tax burden rise as a consequence of certain changes.” He reiterated that the changes include but not limited to the elimination of SALT deduction.
“I cannot endorse changes that may make the tremendous burden felt by California taxpayers even worse. Tax reform should lower taxes for all taxpayers – regardless of where they live,” according to Cong. Issa.
